Activities at Mount Tryon Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Mount Tryon Care Home
Mini Bus Trip
We are excited for a summer filled with minibus excursions. This week, we had a great afternoon strolling around Teignmouth's Jacks Patch Garden Centre in the beautiful sunshine and, of course, pausing for a cup of tea before exploring the horticulture section.
Easter Baking
At Mount Tryon, we always love baking, but this cake we made and decorated was especially memorable because it was our residents' entry into the Barchester Healthcare Easter Cake competition. We were thrilled with the way it turned out, and everyone enjoyed a piece of cake or some bunny biscuits with their afternoon tea.
Ladies Day
After pre-drinks in the garden, we went inside to enjoy cheese and wine while watching the races here at Mount Tryon. We all had a great afternoon. We began the week by creating our own flowers from scratch using kitchen roll, water colour pens, and water to create our unique flowers to add with feathers to our fascinators to wear on Ladies Day at Aintree.
Vera Lynn's Birthday
The amazing Annette Hill entertained us at Mount Tryon on Dame Vera Lynn's birthday. In addition to her singing, she gave us an overview of Dame Vera Lynn's life story, and several of us joined in on her songs. We enjoyed our cream scones which we made for our celebration. It was a beautiful celebration.
World Poetry Day
We celebrated World Poetry Day at Mount Tryon by having members of the u3a join us and read their favourite poems to us, which we did in return, This was especially meaningful to some of our residents who were u3a members and frequently attended the poetry group. We concluded our beautiful afternoon with tea and our homemade poetry cake, a three-tier cake with handwritten poetry on the icing using edible ink, which was enjoyed by all.
World Book Day
We began by creating bookmarks in the morning for World Book Day at Mount Tryon, and then we settled down to listen to an Agatha Christie audiobook in the afternoon while enjoying a delicious cup of tea and our favourite cookies.
